Frequently Asked Questions

Key points to consider

No. Goodbody provides the platform, market access, information and operational support. You remain responsible for deciding which investments are right for you and when to buy or sell.

Our team can help with the practical side of things – think account access, platform queries, or a trickier trade. The investment call itself is always yours to make.

Self-directed investing won’t be right for every decision or every stage of life. As your circumstances change, Goodbody can introduce you to the right specialist team — for investment advice, retirement or inheritance planning.
